HDS Gen3 fishfinder/chartplotter displays are a revolutionary step forward in product for the marine electronics industry. Technology is not slowing down. Are you keeping up? HDS Gen3 is a bottom machine that goes well beyond finding.

HDS Gen3 gives birth to an exclusive new interface that allows you to fully control functions through either multi-touch or full key pad operation depending on user preference and on-the-water conditions. This hi-tech generation advances the award-winning Lowrance® target separation by combining simultaneous use of cutting-edge CHIRP sonar technology and our widely-held StructureScan™ HD sonar imaging to produce unparalleled views of fish holding near the bottom and around structure. In order to better replicate the underwater home where fish live and how you interact with the display, Lowrance has developed and specially tuned a visibly better screen delivering better definition of sonar returns, dynamic dimensionality in menu elements and a layered, strong and subtle color scheme for striking on-screen detail. To drive the latest in electronics technology the HDS Gen3 benefits the angler by turning out the fastest HDS® ever. Those keys are made for pushing. And, we know it is important for you to feel how the touch screen functions. A remarkably fast processor ensures that HDS Gen3 will perform the way you fish.

The advantages of new technology don’t stop there. Total control of trolling-motor, outboard motor and entire electronics system is now achievable in one integrated HDS system. Lowrance SmartSteer™ allows seamless switching from electric-steer trolling-motor and outboard pilot steering. Add-in any NMEA 2000® certified device, available engine interface cables or Lowrance data sensors for a professional-level system that is effortless-to-install and easy-to-use. Enhancing your time on-the-water, GoFree™ wireless download and upload of maps, new software and features and cool new fishing apps extends your control into a cloud enabled digital shopping experience.
